One last PF question...

Ok.. I thought I had all of my ports working as I expect but found this evening that my telnet connections are being ignored making me have to jump on the console to temporarily disable PF.. Any ideas on what I missed?

Code:
# external interfaces
ext_if                  = "bge0"

# internal jailed servers for services
jail_smtp_server        = "10.0.1.4"
jail_mys_webserver  = "10.0.1.7"

local_users             = "10.0.0.0/26"

NoRouteIPs = "{ 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12 }"

# 590x = VNC, 783 = spamd/spamc chatter
localsvcs               = "{ domain telnet 5900 5901 5902 5903 783 }"
webports                = "{ http https }"
smtpports               = "{ smtp imaps sieve }"
sambaports              = "{ netbios-ns netbios-dgm netbios-ssn microsoft-ds loc-srv }"
icmp_types              = "echoreq"
domain_ports            = "domain"

# the tcp_services below should encompass all services above except icmp..
tcp_services            = "{ domain telnet 5900 5901 5902 5903 783 http https smtp imaps sieve netbios-ns netbios-dgm netbios-ssn microsoft-ds loc-srv }"
udp_services            = "{ domain netbios-ns netbios-dgm netbios-ssn microsoft-ds loc-srv }" 

set loginterface $ext_if
set skip on lo0

scrub in all

Are you actually running telnet (inetd) and is it bound to $ext_if? Oh, and even though you are behind a firewall, I'd still advise using ssh. Things break, rules may fail. Telnet = OpenAccess.
 
BBS only need telnet client and not telnet server. OpenSSH is by default installed and there is no need to configure telnet or use of r* command.
 
Ok.. Suppose I decide to go w/ SSH.. I'm going to have the same problem regardless.. e.g. no access due to the above rules.. No? Whether the port is telnet (23) or ssh (22) and I change the rules above from 'telnet' to 'ssh' unless I missed something...?
 
You missed 'are you actually running telnet' ;) Is something actually listening on port 23? ([cmd=]sockstat -l4p23[/cmd])

Otherwise: add 'log' to all of your block rules and tcpdump pflog0.
 
Yes.. Telnet works fine when pf is disabled.. Here's the output as you wish :

Code:
srv1# sockstat -l4p23
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
root     inetd      1152  6  tcp4   10.0.1.1:23           *:*
 
Ok, then take the 'log' statements out of your pass rules and put them in all of the block rules. Then run tcpdump on pflog0 and see what happens to connections to port 23.
 
Ok.. Here's a few things I tried -- not sure what this means though..

Code:
srv1# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog port 23
reading from file /var/log/pflog, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file)
tcpdump: unknown data link type 117

srv1# tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0 port 23
tcpdump: WARNING: pflog0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: unknown data link type 117

srv1# tcpdump --version
tcpdump version 3.9.8
libpcap version 0.9.8
Usage: tcpdump [-aAdDeflLnNOpqRStuUvxX] [-c count] [ -C file_size ]
		[ -E algo:secret ] [ -F file ] [ -i interface ] [ -M secret ]
		[ -r file ] [ -s snaplen ] [ -T type ] [ -w file ]
		[ -W filecount ] [ -y datalinktype ] [ -Z user ]
		[ expression ]

The 2nd one with the warning I'm assuming is because I ran it when PF was disabled.. However the unknown data link type seems odd.. I also tried the newer version of tcpdump (4.0) with the same sort of results.. Any ideas?
 
Can you just run [cmd=]tcpdump -e -s 0 -pnli pflog0 port 23[/cmd] when connecting with telnet from the outside?
 
Here's the output when trying to connect from another machine on the local home network after re-enabling pf :

Code:
tcpdump: WARNING: pflog0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: unknown data link type 117

Here's the output from pfctl -s all if that helps.. This is strange.. I'll do some more reading in the various PF books! I think the thing thats messing with my logging is the unknown data link message -- I just updated my libpcap which I gather who's having the problem and that didn't change anything.. Ugg!

"Interesting". This error seems to hail back to a time when FreeBSD 5 had pf in ports and when tcpdump couldn't read pflog directly; one needed a port named pftcpdump for that. Your version of tcpdump/libpcap is normal for FreeBSD 7 though. Not sure what's going on here ....
 
Ok .. In poking around within libpcap source I see the following data types map to #117 :

Code:
./pcap/bpf.h:#define DLT_PFLOG	117

Now, I just need to find out why this is not supported from the get-go.. Any ideas? I'm still looking!
